The product's advantages include ease of use, environmental safety, and economical consumption. Fumigation can be performed at any time of year.
What is it made of and what is this product?
The "Vist" bulk smoke bomb is a systemic fungicide. Its active ingredient is thiabendazole (400 g/l), which exhibits therapeutic and protective properties. It is used to combat mold and various diseases in vegetable, grain, and fruit crops, and during storage.
The treatment also provides protection against recurrence for 6-8 months. The fungicide is available as 5g tablets. The total weight of the plastic packaging is 400g. "Vist" is also available as a creamy white powder packaged in hermetically sealed polymer cups (5g each).
Mechanism of action and purpose
Thiabendazole inhibits the biosynthesis of pathogen nucleic acids. Smoke emitted during fumigation forms a protective film on the surface of fruits and vegetables. Smoke bombs are used to treat cellars and warehouses. The product is also effective in combating mold in industrial buildings, greenhouses, and hothouses. It is recommended to periodically use smoke bombs to disinfect vehicles transporting fruits, vegetables, and other items.
The tablets are also suitable for protecting greenhouses made of polycarbonate and glass from mold and fungal diseases.
It is recommended to treat buildings after storing the harvest. This allows for simultaneous disinfection of the premises and the produce. It is advisable to disinfect greenhouses during the growing and fruiting periods.
